Springs that held up door were broken

I unscrewed the dishwasher brackets (2 of them) from under the counter, slid out the dishwasher. The springs (or broken springs) were visible. I removed them, popped the new ones in and viola!!! The door sprung up like it was new. Of course I slid the dishwasher back under the counter and put the screws back in. This took 15 minutes. I couldn't believe how easy it was. A repair man wanted to charge us $75 just for a service call (plus parts). I repaired for less than $25!!!!

Remove the screws securing dishwasher to cabinetry; slide the machine out; hook spring into chassis; stretch spring using pliers and attach to arm on washer door. Push the machine back into place, replace screws. Very easy. The spring was delivered in about two days. Piece of cake.

Removed the bottom plate beneath the dishwasher door and the two top screws that held the dishwasher in place. Pulled the dishwasher out from the cabinets and removed the old springs. Attached the new springs to the linkage and slide the dishwasher back in place. Reattached the bottom plate and the two top screws. Done!

door stayed fully open

unscrewd screws at the top; grasp the inside top, lifted & pulled out far enough to view springs; checked way they were fastened as there are several holes fot the springs; using pliers, replaced old with the new

both springs broke on washer door

Well, I thought I was going to have to pull the whole dishwasher out and disconnect the supply line and drain line, but I didn't. I just took off the bottom plate, got a flashlight and got on my back on the floor, then by feel I put the plastic spring linkage piece on the door hinges, then by feel I connected the spring to the other end of the plastic spring linkage piece and then connected other end of spring to the right hole on the dishwasher frame (in order to find the right hole I just moved both springs up and down the holes to see which one seemed right.) And that was it.
